Thank you Daily Deal, and @Sir Veza for directing me to it, my mission is now complete! Today I "beat" the game. With the presence of the Traveler From The North in the DD I have finally hit 100% in collection completion. It's ironic that the last item I needed was a rare, but thanks to Aloyzo that's just the way it played out. As it was, it still took over twice as long as expected statistically speaking for me to get it from the time it was released. For those who are curious, my last legendary, Cursed Radcannon, I got on New Year's Day (exactly 2 years and 1 day from when I started playing CH). The only two items not in my collection are two undroppable items that were only available before I ever learned about CH - Demon Skull Snuffbox, and The Goldleaf Blade. So reaching 100% collection can finally be added to my other achievements of 100% campaign and quest completion, having been in a #1 guild, and having been at #1 overall in the Ranked Standings. Something that I never saw coming when I was still a new player who was easily intimidated and highly nervous at the sight of any rating 1600+. Maybe at this point it's also worth sharing something very few people know. I have never spent any money on CH. Don't get me wrong, it's an AMAZING game and it's well worth spending money on. I'm more than happy to see Jon get paid for all his work. I'm just not in a financial position where it's ever been prudent for me to do so during the time period in which I've played. And, that's not to say I haven't tried to pay my dues in the ways I was able. If you're wondering how I reached 100% in the campaign (including treasure hunts) without spending any money, it was through guild competition, MM creation and the like that I was able to earn and save up pizza for what I wanted. So let this be a counter to anyone who ever claims CH is pay-to-win, you can go all the way to the top, and even beat the game on whatever budget you have. Besides, it's not about being on top it's about the journey getting there. Thanks all, it was an awesome journey!
Devs announce tomorrow that they've released a new version of every legendary in an alternate skin, Scarp's head explodes.
Congratulations Scarp, i am really glad you are the first person to "beat" CardHunter in all levels. I have the utmost respect for you, you are modest (despite being one of the best players in the game), fun to play with/against and always helping others any way you can. P.S. It's time for you to start gathering "a few" chests for the next expansion.
He rode out of town that day, dice loaded in his holster and character sheet tucked into his bedroll. Some say he went to caulk his wagon over to Catan, following the ore miners. Old John spied him looking at the Sheriff's posters, and the 2.5 billion pizza bounty on Mojang the 'Softened. One thing we all knew. The next time we were in trouble, he would ride right back in on that excessively weaponized ornithopter and save all our butts. Scarp always did.
Scarponi is truly one of the greats of the game. You have always been one of my favorite opponents and I always respected your play and contribution. Congratulations and best of luck in all your endeavors!
To be fair @Qivril hit 100% pre-EttSC, but I may be the first to get there post-expansion. Never again. It was great to have most of EttSC items the first day, but it was so un-fun opening that many chests. And doing it at blitz speed means I really didn't get the feeling of enjoying the exploration of a new item here and there, where you think about each new one you get and what you can do with it. I can say with certainty that when the next major expansion comes out, I will not be the first to 100%. Thanks all for the affirmations! CH has the BEST community!
My face when I saw 'You and 10 others'. I thought the Card Hunter gods were trying to tell me something..lol Anyways, a huge congratulations to you!
